Has /ic/ ever worked on a visual novel?
>>7838440itch.io has a surprisingly decent internal reach. i used to be on twitter too until they wanted to dox where i post from. i get 2-3k downloads on my games which is decent ig, I would probably get more if I did mobile versions since apparently a lot of players prefer those and renpy does let you export android .APK files. I don't bother with steam I don't think they would let me host lolisho without being annoying about it (itch has been mostly okay despite one massive scare but I just hosted offsite backups for people). I haven't really looked into getting on dlsite but maybe if I find someone willing to translate I'd think about it but I'm unconvinced JP players would be interested in foreign works>>7838551I was one too so of course I appreciate the perspective and don't think ill of them. Just more wanted to give the perspective that it's hard to make a go of it unless you aim for very specific markets or stop caring about success.
>>7836059she should've gotten a footjob scene
>>7836059i’m solo writing/coding/drawing onethe fandom i’m making it for is almost solely japanese and i have no idea how to code so all the complex renpy code i’m stealing makes no sense to mei’ll probably never even get a demo out, but i’m having fun making degenerate cgs and storylines so whatever

>>7836059You mean a comic?

/lsg/ has made me think that every /beg/ is ugly and retarded, which are already correlated irl
Nyooo
>>7842555the game was rigged from the start
>>7842569bro think he fallout new vegas
senpai follows me-esque
You have to be physically japanese to make it look like this
>>7826857Those are the in-betweens and other repetitive boring jobs like coloring, etc. The storyboarding and character designs are still from Jap studios at least until chinks come in
>>7826802she's quite grumpy...>>7827533>>7834048>>7834221qts
>>7826802a small dick is enough but if you are white AND fat your anime art is doomed to always look like shit
>>7827533>>7834048>>7834221I love the diversity of styles on display here its quite based. I saved every one of them.>>7840648I like that you executed this how you saw fit, it's technically executed well and I like stylization. Im a sucker for well done black and white lineart stuff though so take that as you will.
Am I Japanese yet?
For stupid questions and questions that don't deserve their own thread.Post here if you don't expect your thread to reach 100+ replies.
>>7792558How do I pull midtones? I feel like my art could use more transition values but I never can pull them off. Only artist that I have seen taking in detail is Naoki Saito but he doesn’t go deep into it. Anyone has some advice?
>>7837449you need to use a smudge brush
I swear there was a general for Pixelart, but no matter how hard I try I just can't find it in the catalog. Is there no active thread right now or something?
>>7840655yeah there isn't one up right now
who are the old masters concerning draftsmanship
Assuming you got the necessary skills to pull it off, is there a market for trad paintings depicting the medieval era. I think that there is interest but when you consider how long it would take to setup and paint it that would elevate the price too much for most people interested in this kinda of painting. So now you are stuck with rich people and competing against modern art bs
>>7841118it's in /trad/, you don't paint
>>7841159when you're out of /beg/ (lol) you'll know how retarded your statement was
>>7841161
>>7841166that's not even an actual DK graph lmao, you're such an imbecileconfidence always increases with skill according to DK
>>7841166Protip: (You) are on the leftIf you sold that painting for $5000 you'd be making like $30/hr with 3 weeks of 6 hours a day going into it, meaning you'd have to sell as fast as you painted just to keep afloatYou'd be making half that if you sold it through a gallery at the same price
If you ever draw a penis you are a fagg0t
what if i draw my own?
>>7840139trvth nvke
>>7840139if you have a penis you are a fagg0t
>>7840139What if a girl draws one? What if a girl draws a vagina?
>>7841174Then she is based.
Why was clip studio only 30% off during the holiday sale until of 60% like normal?
>>7837574Not many buying it. People starting out nowadays all grew up with Ipads. And then you have AI also making people think twice before getting into paid art programs
>>7837574They are getting greedier and greedier. New major verisons with barely any major features just so they can sell you a new license. Some new types of brushes don't work on the old versions.
You’d know these tricks too if you had red the Talmud.
>>7837574The company is struggling.Artists are broke.
It's called business honey. Quarter 4 is the time of year where you milk the population for all its worth so you can report back to investors about your infinite growth.
Is the anatomy fucked up?
>>7840323to an extent, yeah. the shoulders and ears are pretty rough.does it matter? depends on how much you like lum as a character or whether you feel the color/linework make the mistakes easily overlooked. a lot of "incorrect" work can be overlooked if the "story" is good. and i don't just mean "manga story" either - every image has a level of visual storytelling, such as where the character is looking, their pose that implies an action, their expression and posture, etc. these intangible details create investment and intrigue purely in the imagination of the audience and nowhere else.granted, explicit storytelling through comic/manga writing is another way to achieve that same effect. it's one of the benefits of working in comics as a writer-illustrator. your work is interpreted holistically as the sum of its parts by the majority of your audience (i say "majority" because there will always be a few people that are there solely for the art, which is fine). bad art with good writing can be more easily overlooked than bad writing with good art, though, if only because getting your audience to have a sense of emotional investment with your characters is half the battle of making a successful comic/story. a badly illustrated, well-written comic is a novel; and badly written, well-illustrated comic is a glorified artbook.
>>7841029also, just wanted to add: if you want a "badly written, well-illustrated" manga, read Super Ball Girlslol
>>7840835>>7840881>>7840896You might laugh at the stylized anatomy (which is a product of its time, and so did not seem out of place to the readers of these manga) but look at the beautiful linework. Can a beg draw straight lines and curves like those with a brush dipped in ink? Can a beg achieve the line width variation that gives life to those drawings? How about the lovely wash colors in that Takahashi illustration? You want appeal? This is appeal.
>>7841029Charles Shulz (creator of Peanuts) said he was an okay writer and an okay artist and that's why he became a cartoonist instead of purely an artist or a writer; and if he'd been a very good artist or a very good writer, he probably wouldn't be known today.
>>7841105the lineweight looks a bit beg too, particularly in OP's pic.
Should I learn Japanese calligraphy for my art
>>7832369If you're not japanese it is just cringe
>>7832369>should I learn [insert skill]Only if you are interested in it
>>7832369Why does the text say 婆 (old hag) when the drawing depicts an extremely young girl?
>>7832369Just curious, do you want to use calligraphy in your art, or do you think it will improve your drawing? Do you think you can learn karate by waxing cars and sanding floors?That said, don't let me talk you out of learning Japanese for its own sake. It will, in the long run, prove to be a more useful skill than drawing.

Is drawing anything like osu? Like do any of the skills in one transfer to the other?
>>7836873fpbp
>>7836866people will do anything to get better at drawing than actually drawing, fascinating stuff.
>>7836885>>7836885
Better than drawabox for sure
>play with tablet>never fucking uses the tablet to draw>it can’t get any better than this>uses ibis on phone to draw instead
It's over.
>>7840539>let others do the sameI will once this shit gets regulated and becomes opt-in
>>7838520Clearly the solution is to fuck up your own art with AI countermeasures in advance. Very passionate.
>>7840588This. I hate the muh algo arguments, like if I want to see if someone made new stuff I'll go look at their posts. Don't rely on the system to feed you
>>7840588No the magic social media algorithm is supposed to read my mind at any moment!
>>7840498>all those efforts in collecting datasets, pruning tags, thousands of hours in training slop>all these amount of processing powers and burning down rainforest...>to create fake timelapses to impress random xitters for a hot 3 seconds>and then gets called out by rabid anti-AIfagsIf this isn't insanity I dont know what it is. I pity anyone training and sharing models for free.
What is your opinion on League splash art
>>7839523>if anything, league proves your art doesn't need to be perfect to make a successful product. it helps, but it's never been a requirement.idk maybe learn to read, you disingenuous, illiterate retard
>>7839560if anyones disingenuous its you BROyou talk about league being succesful despite the bad art in the beginning but we are literally talking about the art RIGHT NOWand how skins are selling like HOT CAKE, in particular because the art is good
>>7839610Anon is truly the lowest common denominator
>>7829555it used to be good, now its gay and boring
>>7829560>>7830082pyw
how many of you draw with you phone? are you good? is anyone good?
>>7831088did this on my phone a couple of weeks ago. It's pretty doable, but you need some kind of stylus. I used one with a rubber tip
>>7831088Have a friend who does it. But not only does she have small hands because she's a woman. But because she literally has tiny baby hands.
>>7831198>poorfagBuy a tablet and use klarna you fucks if you can't do that stick to drawing on paper until you get a job and finance a fucking tablet. Drawing on a phone sounds awful and ultimately you're wasting your time.
>>7836128This. Not as aggressively, but a good screenless tablet (Intuos tablets are crazy cheap used these days) or a cheap (300 USD) android tablet like the Teclast Art Pad Pro that has a pressure sensitive pen included. Drawing on a phone is a choice I can't get behind, even paper is better if it's just for practice. Drawing is unironically the cheapest hobby to get into.
>>7831088i have been using my phone for the past 2 years but ever since i've got my hands on a screen tablet i have never been happier to leave it. here's one of the commission i made using it
>stunts a generation of artistsWhy did he do it?
>>7840037I don't give a fuck what his art looks like, the PDF is a bunch of exercises ripped from people who can actually draw. It's a convenient list of well known ways to practice fundies, not advice.
>>7812589What do I do then? Is there a better starting point around?
>>7840417how the fuck did I pass through the captcha? "find the image that does not have a pair" And it's the same fucking star over and over again, single star
>>7840417Is this it? what does it even mean Does not have a pair? it has seven points therefore it's odd? The same should be with a 5 point star. The fuck?
>>7840063I skimmed through it, and yeah, it's just repackaged Dynamic Sketching exercises. Seems faster paced than DaB and more approachable than the easily found DS videos which lose the main appeal of having a Q&A session. Some of the stuff later about building characters and scenes seems like it's thrown in because that's what people are going to look for and skip to, but if someone sticks with the form building exercises it's probably fine
